    Dark spot on TV screen

    I have a Vizio Vx37L HDTV10A about 2 years old and the screen shows a dark area on the upper center of the screen when the video is showing a light or bright color sceam. I was able to check all the caps, power supplies and seems that the TV is in good working order . Does this sound like it could be a T-con board problem or something else I have not looked into.

    It is most likely the LCD panel itself, especially if it is a panel made by CHUNGWHA or CHI-MEI. It is known as "mura".

      Probably impossible to guess without being able to see it - have you always owned the set and its got worse.

      Could be someone (kids) have whacked it, could be a bulb going out, You could read up on Mura a flat screen panel defect.

        70LE660U dark cloud or black screen with sound.
        by Rozp
        Hello Everyone,

        This is my first post so I will try to be as precise as possible without making this post too long winded. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the original problem but I included images of the TV internals.

        I have a Sharp 70LE660U. The problem started a few months ago with the bottom row looking out of sync and was dark on the left side and then fading to transparent on the right side. Shortly after, a dark cloud appeared in the center of the screen. The dark cloud started small and shaded but the image was visible. It also affected the menu area....

        Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
        by Chrissygizmo
        Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
        I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

        Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
        by Ryan.man
        Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

        My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

        This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

        Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
        by reformatt
        Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

        It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

        Sharp Aquos LC-70C6400U Half Screen Dark
        by scubacamper
        I found another post on this site the other day which has been very helpful in troubleshooting this issue I am having with my tv. The left half of the screen is dark, and the other half is VERY slow to generate it's image - and it only generates part of its image at that.
        Based on this yt video, I have narrowed it down to an issue (short?) on the left side of the display, somewhere in the system of ribbon cables.
        when I remove the bezel and the rear cover, I can get the image to display correctly by manipulating the ribbon cables on the left side which connects the left lower display...
